Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurses commitment to the relat
k k k k k k k k k k k


ionship and reduces feelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the
k k k k k k k k k k k k


patient and demonstrates caring. Generalizations, probing, and false reassuran
k k k k k k k k


ces are non-therapeutic.
